"Reduce confusion"?!? πŸ˜‚

If we were to do that, it should have been when 100M base units was not valued at $100k, but at $1k. A smaller user base would be more accepting and easier to inform, especially because they were not normies.

I agree, however, that the high value of the base unit makes it a challenge for the uninitiated, not knowing that you can trade in tiny bits, not only in whole coins. Generally speaking, coins are not meant to be broken up, so there's a verbal connotation to the whole unit being indivisible.

Sats are easy enough, though, I think. We can also use mili- and micro- to denote other denominations as we need.

I heard they were planning on it! I didn't know it rolled out yesterday.

Actual refugees. All those "but what about the vegetable pickers" type lib racists will eat their words as these refugees actually become farmers here because they're not getting raped and murdered on their SA plots of land by roving gangs.

The premise Roger Verr's book is Core devs going rogue. Verr argued that people were unable or unwilling to go against them, so they hijacked Bitcoin. Note operators switching implementations now disproves they premise.

Yeah, I kept publishing that I had to switch npubs. I accidentally leaked my nsec. It was in a photo that got quickly deleted, and I am somewhat certain it wouldn't have been used, but still...

My wife grew up on the same large plot of land as some extended family, including my wife's grandparents and two sets of cousins, aunt, and uncle. I was hoping to do so, too, but money was never good enough to get it, but then my children are older by too much to have the same arrangement of growing up surrounded by cousins. Might not happen.

The day of the election, I was at first very excited to have our first pontiff born in the United States, thinking this is a sign of the end of the animosity from Rome.

Yesterday, I was more apprehensive as I learned of some of His stances and pay record.

Today, I am hopeful. He delivered an actually decent homily! I am sorry to say the bar was set very low, but I more now that through Leo XIV we are able to heal the divide in our Church.

I am hopeful that he is young enough and being a native English speaker he will be able to dialogue with us in the English speaking world--especially in his home, the United States--to learn of our love and need for Tradition; that we might see that the "migrant" problem that we in the US and in Europe have is not an issue of a lack of charity toward distant neighbors but one of a right and responsibility to self-protection; that we would again become a missionary Church that converts the heretics and pagans to the one, true Faith, rather than repeat the free-Masonic mantras of equality of religions; and that we would cease the pandering to the media, trying to be nice and not offend the world, especially in regards to sexual issues.

These are my hopes and prayers.

Litecoin? I didn't know it had zaps!

I'm sure this only applies to Missouri tax, not federal level taxation. *That* will be the day! It's what keeps adoption low, I believe.

His namesake predecessor wrote Rarum Novarum, the preeminent Catholic social teaching, which covers labor ethics, and he has spent decades in third world South America (Peru), so money and currency should be something he ought to be addressing.

If he could condemn printing money and thus stealing from the populace, that would be step one. Step two might be to speak on what good money actually is, which will then allow us to show how Bitcoin meets the criteria and is a better money than all its predecessors.

Havebus papam! Deo Gratias.

It is my hope and prayer that he be led by the Holy spirit into great holiness and lead us likewise.

First choice, for no matter how many the trolley has slain, there remain ahead of it an infinite number of people for whom an indefinite period of time remains before their own demise.

Why store the actual data on-chain, though? Why ought it not be just a proof of the data, and another distributed storage system (like blossom) does and shares the data?
